A strong scrummager and very busy in the tight loose, big Trevor Nyakane excelled for the Toyota Cheetahs in Vodacom Super Rugby in the last couple of seasons. In 2013, he was duly called up to the Springbok squad and played in all three June Tests that year, capping a fine month of rugby with a try against Samoa at Loftus Versfeld. He added 10 more Tests to his tally in 2014. Trevor first shot to prominence in the Absa Currie Cup in 2011 and apart from his great play in the set piece, he also has very good ball skills.
